video-study-script

Script to make studying downloaded video courses easier and faster.

Does the following:

• Creates a .csv file that lists:
• All the videos in a sorted order.
• Duration for each of the video
• Challenge (half time of the original video to try to challenge yourself to finish the video in half the time)
• Total time of all the videos
• Total challenge time to finish all the videos
• [!] Script for each video (row) that when run, will start the timer and open the video in your defualt media player.
• Alarm will sound when the timer runs out.
• Split by pomodoro sessions.

Setup

mkdir -p ~/scripts

download and paste the script file here

Make it executable

chmod +x ~/scripts/video-study.sh

Make it a global command

sudo ln -s ~/scripts/video-study.sh /usr/local/bin/video-study

How to use

cd "Course folder location"
video-study

Running script column (Timer + Open video file)

Run the command from the same location you ran the video-study command (where the .csv was generated)

Future features

• Speed should not always be half. It should be how much speed increase you can do before you can no longer understand what the person in the video is saying. Input that multiplier (1.1/1.2/1.3 ... 2.0/2.1/2.2 etc.) and that should tell you how long it will take to finish in challenge time.
